Truth Be Told Documentary Festival

This annual three-night event offers public screenings of short films made by students in the School of Media Studies’ graduate certificate program in Documentary Media Studies

Over three evenings, short films are screened for the public. Media Studies faculty members Deirdre Boyle and Deanna Kamiel conduct Q&A sessions with the filmmakers following the screenings each night. These works are the product of a year of intensive study of documentary production, history, and theory.

The Documentary Media Studies certificate is awarded for successful completion of a one-year, full-time, graduate-level program of study, a unique opportunity to study documentary filmmaking in a small, intensive program in New York City, the world’s documentary capital.

There is a public reception with the filmmakers and faculty following the first night of screening.
